Fun Weekend!

This past weekend Lolo came in town for a visit. We were SO excited to see her! Me and the girls picked her up from the airport on friday morning and then headed to huntsville for the weekend. We thought it would be fun to take Lauren to huntsville to hangout and see our family. I'm so glad we did because we had a great weekend! On friday night Jacob's parents grilled us some delicious chicken! We had a great dinner and had fun catching up! On saturday Lauren and I woke up bright and early and went running in the avenues and around the Sam campus, stopped by my parents house to chat with them, and then went to get a yummy Starbucks on the way home! Saturday afternoon we went shopping at Target and found some really cute stuff. It was so fun to get out and go shopping since it very rarely, or pretty much never happens. Jacob took care of Jayda and my mom watched Sydney while we ran out! On saturday night we went to eat dinner at The Farmhouse Cafe. Andrea and baby Sara met us there along with Jayda's cousins Cole and Caitlyn. As always the food was great and we had fun! On sunday we got up early to run together one last time and then played out at Jacob's parents house for the morning. My mom made us lunch that afternoon so we went over to their house to hangout until Lauren's flight left later that day. Kristi also came over to have lunch with us. After lunch us girls and Jayda went to jump on the neighbor's trampoline and then went to get yummy snocones to cool off. We had so much fun playing and relaxing this weekend! Can't wait for you to come back Lolo!!

"There we go, I got it!"


"Ewwww Mommy, I don't think I like this so much!"


Jayda wanted to take a picture with her sister, as usual. Sydney drooling like crazy, as usual!

Sydney @ 2 months & Flower Girl Pics!

I can not believe that little miss Sydney is already 2 months old! She had her first round of shots done last thursday. Shots are always so hard because they just hurt so bad and there is nothing you can do for them! Sydney made it through the shots with Jayda standing right beside her telling her that everything was ok. That night was pretty rough I guess because Sydney was not feeling good from the shots, so I decided to go ahead and give her some tylenol. Once she finally fell asleep after, oh say after a couple of hours of crying, she slept all night long. And, I have now come to realize that the little bit has already started teething! Oh no, here we go again! Jayda started teething early also and got her first tooth at 5 months. I am SO not excited about this as teething really stinks!! Sweet girl almost constantly has her hands in her mouth. At first I thought, oh, maybe she's just trying to find her thumb. But, today I stuck my finger in her mouth to rub on her gums and she started cooing and smiling so big at me because it felt so good to her little gums! So, here we go with all that! At least once she can start holding things I will give her little baby spoons to chew on to relieve the pain since that worked really well with Jayda. Besides the teething, S is doing really well. She talks and coos a lot and still loves for people to talk to her. She will almost always smile at you if you start talking to her. Oh, and she laughed for the first time the other night. Jacob got home and came over to see her and he started talking to her and smiling, like usual. She smiled back really big at him and laughed! It was the sweetest thing! She hasn't done it again since then, but I'm sure she will start laughing more soon. Go figure she would laugh for the first time at daddy, not mommy who she is with all day long. Funny enough Jayda smiled for the first time at Jacob also! Those girls have a special thing for their daddy! Sydney also loves to watch Jayda. She just stares at her and watches everything she does and loves when Jayda talks to her. I'm sure she can not wait to start running around doing everything that Jayda does!

Sweet little Sydney after getting her first round of shots @ 2 months.


Jayda wanted her picture taken with Sydney, of course!


And there's the little teething munchkin!


This past sunday Jayda was one of the flower girls in my cousin Shiara's wedding. She has been so excited about being the flower girl and she finally got to do it this weekend. She did a great job and loved every minute of it. Shiara's wedding was so beautiful and everything was so nice! Jayda had a blast at the reception running around with all of the other little girls. Congrats Shiara and Josh we are SO happy for you two!

Birthday Party and Bluebonnets!

We had a fun and busy weekend! On saturday afternoon we went to Cecilia's 2nd birthday party at Ree and Daniel's new house in The Woodlands. They have recently done a lot of work to their house and it looked amazing! The party was so much fun! They had a bounce house set up for the kiddos and Jayda of course loved that! She barely came out of it to eat and all of the girls were still playing on it after the sun went down! She had so much fun playing with her cousins Cecilia and Molly! We were so glad we were able to make it to Cecilia's party and watch her open all of her great gifts!

Sweet girls laying in Sydney's crib together. Sydney's crib is actually more like a play pen, for Jayda!

She absolutely loved this thing! I'm thinking we may need to get one of these. She could entertain herself for hours!

On sunday afternoon we headed out to Waller to Oma and Oupa's farm. We got some great pictures of the girls in the bluebonnets in their front yard. Thank you Oupa for getting everything looking great for us to come and visit! Jayda loves going out to their farm and helping Oupa. She helped Oupa feed the fish and cows! We had a great afternoon hanging out with Oma and Oupa!

Easter Weekend!

Last weekend for Easter we went to Huntsville to spend the holiday with our family. Jayda went up to Huntsville before us on friday night after going to the Astros game with Nanna and Pawpaw. On saturday morning the rest of us headed to hville. We hung out and relaxed at Jacob's parents house then went over to my parents house to hang out with Oma and Oupa and enjoy some yummy hamburgers. Jayda had a blast opening up and playing with all of her Easter goodies from Oma. On Easter morning we went to church with Jacob's family. Easter is always so special, but this year it was even more special because Lourdes got baptised! We were so happy for her and so excited that we got to be there with her at such a special time! After church we went back out Jacob's parents house. Nanna cooked a great Easter meal and everyone came over to enjoy. Jayda of course spent most of the day outside playing with her cousins and riding around on the four wheeler. Lourde's parents and little sister also came over, so Jayda had a ton of fun playing with Lourdes' little sister Grace. Caitlyn, Grace and Jayda were like 3 little peas in a pod all day! Big cousin Caitlyn was so sweet to the little girls and they look up to her so much! After enjoying a yummy lunch we had a big Easter egg hunt for the kiddos. Jayda loves hunting for Easter eggs! She found lots of eggs filled with candy and money. We even had to go to Toys R Us yesterday so that she could buy something with her Easter money! After the egg hunt Jayda was SO tired and worn out! We decided we better go ahead and pack up to head home. We had a great weekend and loved spending time with our family!
